as given verbally BY Davis; there was no
interference with the work, except
to exclude any brick that was not
good; there was no interference at all
after the work got under way. He testi-
fed also that he said the wall looked thin,
and suggested adding four inches. He
did not say anything about danger, the
wall did not suggest any danger to him.
Foulk testified that the only interference
was in leaving the end open to build a
shed. In answer to the question as to
whether in his opinion the wall was thick
enough, Mr.. Eno6 said, II mentioned IL
Mr.. Simpson, think it was to him, Mr..
Davis and Mr.. Jones that thought they
ought to run it four inches thicker on the

any vibration they would hold it. Hi

thought about its falling down.
As to the open end no suggestion wal
ever made by Foulk that it was dangerous
TO leave it open, and no objection appear
to the request of the company. Such ther
was the situation of the defendant. Tina
of the plaintiff was at least equal and il
fact superior. Their knowledge of tn
physical defects was exactly equal
